We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Guatemala is like. They answered...

"A vacation rental, because I arrived for vacation but then moved to a locally built house not specifically for expats. I would say that's what happens with others expats," remarked another expat in Panajachel, Guatemala.

"Expat homes and apartments in Guatemala tend to be modern and comfortable, with amenities such as air conditioning, cable television, and internet access. Many expats choose to live in gated communities, which offer additional security and access to amenities such as swimming pools, gyms, and tennis courts. Expat homes and apartments in Guatemala are typically furnished with modern furniture and appliances, and often feature balconies or terraces with views of the surrounding landscape," said a member in Guatemala.
